In practice, they're tougher than the Fritschi Diamir (and Diamir-II), at
least according to a guy in WA who gave up on Fritschi after breaking (and
replacing under warranty) 3 sets of Fritschis in 2 years. He never skied
lifts with them either, always BC, but he's a heavyweight (200+lbs) who
tends to ski with a full complement of glacier rescue gear- I'd bet his pack
averages 40lbs in summer, 45lbs in winter. Still, he just plain got sick of
limping back in on broken bindings. He's had much better binding longevity
with them flimsy li'l Dynafits! (They're something of a pain in the ass to
get into compared to the step-in ease of the Diamir or the Silvrettas, but
not as bad as most releasable tele bindings.) YMMD
